Rice used is something from Kasama That's one word for the wonderful ‼️. I feel it's sophisticated and seamless. Full of flavor with a clean aftertaste. The price is high, but the level is also quite high. ‼️

This is what "dry and light" means. It has a clean aftertaste that does not linger. It is so refreshing that it even has a bitter taste.

I was curious about this sake when I saw it on Sake no Wa before. It was given to me as a present by chance. It has a spreading umami and a bitter finish. It was a delicious sake. The "Recommended for you" list has become full of Hokkaido sake 😀.

🍶 The ultimate food wine! Goes well with fish, liver and tempura! It washes away the fishy smell and brings out the flavor It doesn't interfere with the meal at all! No distinctive aroma, but the overall balance of the sake is divine! So this is what I mean by "food sake"! I'm sad I finished it 😢. I want to drink it in a perfect setting.

"Founded in 1878, a sake brewery in the north that brews dreams." Hokuto Zuisho, a product handled in a liquor store is more mellow than that drunk in a store. The flavor is colorful and suits all tastes. It goes well with strong-flavored snacks and sashimi. Even my wife, who does not like sake very much, seems to be able to drink it easily. It was a good encounter.

It is Kamikawa Taisetsu Shuzo's Kamikawa Junmai Sake. It was purchased at a Seven-Eleven in Sounkyo, Kamikawa-cho. It is a good sake with good acidity and sharpness. It is good to drink at room temperature.

It is a sake limited to the Asahikawa area, but you can find it in restaurants these days. It has been a while since I drank it, but the label seems to have changed. It is fruity, refreshing, and easy to drink. It is a good and inexpensive sake with a nice taste of rice. ‼️

It is the sake which is sold in the Seven-Eleven of Kamikawa-cho or Sounkyo in Hokkaido. I bought it as a souvenir for my wife on the way back from a snowboarding trip to Kamikawa in March. I always buy it when I go to Kamikawa area... It's really good!

The lid opens quickly. Lactic acidity, savory smell of rice. Apple, umami, refreshing acidity, not too forward sweetness, plum-like acidity swells. Delicious on its own. I am a fan of baby star with hot water, but this time I left it as it is. The taste of the baby star matches the deliciousness of the sake, and the sake envelops it nicely. The combined aftertaste is irresistible. It is so good that I would buy it if I tasted it.

It seems to be a drink that is drunk six months after the first visit to the summer and in conjunction with the seventh day of the seventh month of the year. The smell is a little sweet and oily. The mouthfeel is refreshing. After enjoying the refreshing taste, there is a lingering sourness. It is delicious. When served with a meal, it changes to a watery taste, but the alcohol and flavors make a statement. It has been exorcised and is now safe.

Origuchi Sake-ten suddenly started taking reservations for Wakabisu, so I went to make a reservation last week and received it today. The rice is Kami no Ho. I didn't feel any gas, but there were lots of bubbles in the glass. I was told it was a food type wine, but it was more fruity and pineapple-like than I expected. It's not flashy, but it's delicious with a moderate sweetness and flavor. Wakabisu sake brewery is close to Aoyama-cho station, so you can go there by train 🤔.

The word "autumn" is not "autumn," but "back," and when one hears the word "back," the male mind cannot help but explore. Jacket value ... 6/10 The big title and the list of specs are very cool! But the blue label is a minus... Hue ... 11/20 The hue is a bright yellow and the odor is straw-like, which satisfies the desire for a heavy style. Sei... 12/20 The aroma is not too strong, but the flavor and aroma are in harmony. Turning point ... 11/20 The sublimation smell is a heavy type without a doubt, but the flavor is clear even with this much aroma. Yui ... 11/20 The taste is dry, but that's all it is. Cospa ... 2/10 Purchased at 2,865 yen. The main drawback of Akizuka is that it is not a hit or miss. The problem with Aki-Deer is that it is too hit or miss. 53 points

Local sake, KuraMaster gold medal winning sake. Classic aroma. The taste is clean and refreshing, with a sweet and umami taste of rice, and a rich flavor. It is a classic dry sake that looks good when heated.

Fukuoka's Favorite Liquor Store Sumiyoshi Sake Brewery Original Attracted by the Taisho-romantic label, we welcomed them. Dark sweet and spicy, yet refreshing. but the aftertaste is rich! The word "No-Naru" means "to disappear" in Hakata dialect. It's one of those bottles that you'll find yourself running out of.

Now here's a review of the sake I bought as a souvenir (I can't go on yet!) I bought a bottle of Hana no Dew sake🍶 that was not available at Sakebar Fukuzo. I was allowed to taste the sake at the store attached to the brewery (3rd photo) and bought the once-fired special pure sake since it was hand-carried. The initial aroma is sweet like honey. In the mouth, it has a full-bodied sweet flavor with a slightly classical acidity. It goes well with dishes with strong flavors. We drank Hana no Dew Josen when we had seiro-mushi (steamed eel) at Motoyoshiya in Yanagawa (4th photo), and it went well with the sweet and spicy flavor of the eel. It was quite delicious 🍶✨.

Kumamoto's local sake, Sanzanmura Slightly sweet ginjo aroma A light, sweet mouthfeel with a soft acidity. Like drinking fresh green apple juice I drank too much and my memory is fuzzy I'm not even sure of the notes I wrote at the time😅. Anyway, it's delicious! Sake brewed with sake rice grown by a pesticide-free method called "Koi Farming" in Sanzan Village! Using the carp farming method, carp are released into the rice paddies 🌾🌾 to get rid of pests. A few years ago, I drank Manbo from Kumamoto Kameman Shuzo, which was a sake made using the duck farming method🦆! There are many people in Kumamoto who practice natural farming methods 🫶.

Japanese Sake Fest @ Osaka Bay Tower (・ω・`) There is a very good flavor on it, but it also has a light sourness and freshness According to the pamphlet, it is suitable for yakitori and oden. I felt it would be suitable for the autumn taste!

Rice used is unknown We do not know the concept, but it seems to be a "cat series" and there are others like "Wind and Cats". Although low-alcoholic, it is not light and has a deep flavor. It was fruity, well-balanced and delicious sake. ❗️

As the name "super dry" suggests, there is no sweetness at all. It has no peculiarity in the mouthfeel and can be swallowed easily.

Junmai Ginjo🍶Summer only sake 😆. Sweet and thick 😳. It's like coarse 😅. When you take your time to sip it, it softens a bit and has a dry melon aftertaste. Softened by Aizu's specialty, squid and carrots. The final dish is a chilled shoyu sauce, which is unique to summer. But it is rather refreshing. The soup is delicious. But I wonder if it's a change 🤔. Aizu Kitakata Ramen Aizuna @ Jujo 20230801
